Multi-dimensional healing for body and soul.

  • Do you have health issues that haven’t responded to orthodox medicine?

  • Are you trapped in a health care limbo where lab values are normal but you know you’re not as well as you should be?

  • Do pharmaceuticals relieve your symptoms but create other problems?

  • Do you have a history of trauma? Do you have a history of recurring trauma?

  • Have you tried to treat yourself with herbal medicine but didn’t get the results you desired?

  • Are you curious about herbal medicine and want some guidance with your own efforts to achieve optimal health?

  • Do you want to understand the deeper meaning of your health challenges? Do you feel that perhaps illness is a spiritual journey that can be resolved when you gain understanding of its purpose?

  • Are you recovering from an illness and find that you aren’t recovering as completely as you would like?

  • Or maybe you’re a recovering addict and your physiology isn’t back to normal.

Spiritual and Herbal Healing: POV

Healing is a journey to wholeness, and the road there is never a straight line. We are no different from the rest of creation, famously immortalized by the words of John Muir,“When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world.” Everything that happens in our lives, has its origins in SPIRIT. And it is there we must go to start the process of changing.

Traditional societies recognized that body and spirit were inextricably linked. Indeed, the combination was effective enough to insure the survival of our species to the present age. And while the practice of healing has changed, people have not. We still are representations of a soul and the choices are souls have made throughout our many lifetimes. Our illnesses, relationships, tragedies, and even the ways that we die are all interwoven with the tapestry that is the expression of our soul throughout time.

The Journey to Self-Discovery

Both spiritual and herbal medicine are deeply personal and unique to each individual. They form a journey of self-discovery and self-awareness, where one learns to listen to their inner voice and trust their intuition. This path often involves exploring different spiritual practices, such as mindfulness, journaling, silent retreats, and prayer.

The Role of Faith, Belief, and Nature

All healing comes from the Creator. Herbal medicine is a direct line to that SOURCE, depending on how plant materials are grown, harvested and processed. Generally speaking, the more processed a herbal medicine is, the less potency it has to offer. A commitment to wholeness is the first step to healing the spirit, and healing the spirit is the first step to healing the body.

Change is not easy. Spiritual healing requires a malleable mindset and determination. Herbal medicine requires a commitment to rest, eat well, and take the remedy. Sometimes the remedy is an external application, like a foot bath. It’s an altogether different experience than simply popping a pill. Together or apart; the two systems have the potential to offer lasting change.

How does Herbal Medicine work?

Herbal medicine is a vitalistic practice that works with the body’s innate drive to function and stay alive. Human beings have used plant medicine as long as we have existed, and our bodies recognize the compounds in plants and respond to their effects. Because of this, plant medicine is innately gentle and subtle in its actions.

All traditional medicine systems, like Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda, Unani Tibb, and others, arose out of the cultures they served, using the plants that grew in the immediate environment. Most of these systems incorporated spiritual practices such as Yoga, shamanism, and rituals. Another commonality across traditional systems is a means of assessing the individual’s health and their needs. Chinese Medicine uses pulse and tongue diagnosis, Ayurveda uses the Dosha system, Unani Tibb assesses imbalances through humors and temperament, African traditional medicine utilizes a blend of plants, shamanism, and ritual. Western Herbalism is adaptive builds on the knowledge of the indigenous cultures and later influences that arose out of 19th century medical practice.

Herbal medicine aims to restore balance in the body’s systems and bring about balance. It is a valid means of self-care, empowering the individual to build health in a way that affirms life. Herbal Medicine:

  • Treats the individual as a whole system, rather than a diagnosis.

  • Works with your primary care provider for optimal outcomes.

  • Addresses emergent viruses and antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

  • Blunts the body’s stress response by strengthening the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis.

  • Normalizes fluid balance.

  • Strengthens organ function and systems.

  • Repairs damaged organs from health abuse.

  • Restores vitality to organ systems.

About Glinda

I think I really began my herbal studies in childhood, when I was given free rein to explore the fields and forests of my West Tennessee home. In the woods, I noticed that one plant in particular, stood out to me as it was outlined in light. Later I learned the plant was Mayapple, one of the powerful medicinal plants of Southeast America.

The fascination persisted, and in college I majored in Psychology. Upon graduation, I did volunteer work in encounter groups with heroin addicted Vietnam Vets. Subsequently, I began work in the burgeoning community mental health centers that were dismantled by Regan era policies. By then, I had become a stay at home mom, with two beautiful children that I was determined to raise under my protective wings. When I returned to the workplace, the mental health field had changed, and i found work in a locally owned store that specialized in organic food and sold herbal products. I became the stocker for bulk herbs, and I was introduced to the world of botanicals, with all their cultural affiliations and contributions to cuisine and health. I was transferred into direct sales of dietary supplements, and began training in that arena. My efforts earned me another promotion, and soon I became manager of the dietary supplements department in a new location. Our sales grew yearly, and for me, it was clear that my customers were seeking more active participation in their wellness. I began to study herbal medicine on my own, and soon I was attending annual symposiums and conferences around the country. In 1999, I moved to Arizona for 5 months, while I studied at the Southwest School of Botanical Medicine with Michael Moore. Michael Moore is widely considered to be the godfather of the American herbal renaissance, and is known for developing a system of western constitutional herbalism based on organ system energetics. Unlike Traditional Chinese Medicine, or Ayurveda, western constitutional herbalism addresses the typical patterns of illness and imbalance of the average first world inhabitant, using terminology that is familiar to westerners.

All in all, I spent 4 months in the classroom, and 1 month in the field, identifying, harvesting, and processing plants into herbal medicine. To this day, herbal pharmacy is a joy and I get great pleasure out of crafting a remedy that is unique for my clients.

After graduation, I returned to Memphis, where I opened my own consulting practice. In 2004, I applied for and was awarded professional membership in the American Herbalists Guild, which is the only peer reviewed credential for clinical herbalists in the United States, signifying competency and adherence to ethical standards.

In 2011, my life took a big U turn when my son died in a car accident. I stopped teaching, seeing clients, and sleeping. My marriage collapsed. Unresolved traumas from childhood and my adult life came home to roost as my psyche split and scattered to the 4 winds. Too ill to work, I left my home town and moved 200 miles away and lived in isolation in a log cabin on the Piney River in middle Tennessee. I found my earliest relief from the trauma in herbal medicine with a formula called ‘Grief Releaf’, created by herbalist David Winston. I applied what I had learned about balancing and healing the nervous and the digestive system with botanicals. I used botanicals to restore neuroplasticity and I used SRT to reintegrate my spirit and address my soul level choices that created the trauma. I sought help from professionals and physicians, got EMDR, psychotherapy, and unsuccessfully tried psychiatric medication. At the end of the day, it was the day to day simple self care modalities that I used that brought me the most healing and I am sharing those in this website in hopes that other can gain similar benefit.

What People Are Saying

  • Ginger W.

    Ginger W., Austin Texas Director, Sacred Journey School of Herbalism

    "I've worked with Glinda on several occasions but the most significant time was from halfway around the world. I was traveling in Iceland with my daughter and suddenly I became petrified of losing her to the extent that I couldn't sleep with images of death crossing my innervision. Glinda opened my soul records and found past life traumas that were contributing to the situation and I was able to sleep and continue on our trip without the fear of losing my daughter to a terrible accident. I can't imagine what I would have done without her help at that time.

  • Tamera H., Memphis TN

    Glinda has been helpful to me and my family on two different occasions. Both times, I needed help with clearing unwanted energies from my family's home. The first time, I called Glinda during my work day and when I arrived home, the entire atmosphere had changed. It was such a relief! When we moved into our new home, I knew I would need her help. The first couple of weeks were calm, but shortly after, things began to happen. My husband and daughter both saw a black shadow on the second floor at different times. Our doorbell rang repeatedly for no reason. My daughter's door would open every night at 3 am and her computer would turn itself on. At night, I could hear footsteps in the attic. I contacted Glinda and she immediately went to work. Her energy clearing made such an amazing difference in our home. Things are calm no. No more random door bells or computers firing up in the middle of the night. We all sleep better.

  • Lane F. , Eugene OR

    'Everything is so easy and I am having so much fun with all of my time. I am super happy and content. Thank you for a totally amazing experience and a better understanding of our connections to one another. Thank you again for the totally enlightening experience!

  • Ronnie R., Carlsbad, CA Vietnam Veteran (retired)

    Glinda has been my Spiritual Coach for over 3 years. Her honest and integrity are beyond reproach. The spiritual healing, growth, and awareness that I have attained are immeasurable.

  • Livia P., Patagonia, AZ LMT

  • Karen S., Punxatawney, PA Yoga Teacher

    "My session with Glinda has allowed me to do my life's work with honesty and truth. Glinda is as real as it gets. I admire her connection with SPIRIT, her openness and respect as she receives and passes on what she hears. It's beautiful.

  • Shaun S. , Memphis, TN

    'Glinda is an incredibly knowledgeable and intuitive healer. I highly recommend her. She changed my life at age 44. Glinda was the first natural healer that I consulted after trying to get answers from my endocrinologist for various problems. In 2009, I was inflamed, not sleeping well, had gut issues, hormonal fluctuations, skin breakouts, on daily meds for asthma...the list went on. I made an appointment to see Glinda. She was very curious and asked all the right questions. Glinda recommended some herbs, some supplements, and a course of action. In 30 days, I felt better than I had in years. The inflammation drained off me, literally. I lost 7 pounds in one week. My hormones balanced, my skin cleared, and hallelujah no more gut issues! My weight continued to go down for the next 6 months, with no effort. I went off all allergy and asthma meds and have stayed off them. Glinda has a gift, and I'm so grateful that she was there to share her wisdom with me.

    Forever grateful

  • Dipti S., Memphis, TN

    Glinda came to me highly recommended. I enlisted her help in evaluating my supplement regimen to advise me on how best to support my liver's functioning. I found Glinda to be patient and attentive in our discussion while imparting experience and knowledge.

  • J. White, Memphis, TN

    I came to see Glinda several years ago after surgery for breast cancer. I had a double mastectomy with immediate reconstruction, which was a disaster. I ended up having 7 surgeries in all...the cancer was gone but I was plagued with inflammation and the scars were healing very badly. I had diarrhea constantly, and my C-reactive protein scores were alarmingly high. I started working with Glinda on this, and I knew that I had connected with an intelligent, ground herbalist who really knew her stuff. Let me tell you, I came from a skeptical point of view as someone with a formal medical education. My own physicians could offer no help. I am now totally free of the inflammatory process, no more diarrhea, no more skin and gut inflammation, and recent surgery to repair scarring was a success. I am 100% positive that had I not worked with Glinda to harmonize mind, body, and spirit, and to acknowledge the healing abilities of my own mind, that I would not be enjoying life as I am now.

  • Anne S. Eads, Tn

    Glinda's sensitivity to her client's well being comes from her grounded spiritual beliefs and immense understanding of how all of us: humans, plant life, and earth are interconnected. She gracefully shares this insight and wisdom with her clients in an immensely comfortable and supportive environment. After having spent time in her presence, you realize that you have truly been in the care of a gifted healer.

  • Tina B., Memphis, TN

    I approached Glinda with certain ailments like anxiety, mood swings, strong headaches, menstrual problems, GI afflictions, and difficulty in falling and staying asleep. Glinda has offered professional services from Day 1, combining empathy, patience, and warmth. Finding Glinda was like hitting the jackpot, considering the fact that in my state it is rare to find effective natural medicine practitioners. Glinda's recommendations have helped me tremendously. I have been following them for over a year. The headaches are gone, menstrual irregularities have been resolved, and her suggestions on how to improve my diet have offered visible results. I recommend her services without hesitation.

  • Nancy W., Bisbee, AZ

    I am feeling so much better now and am able to see things from a much clearer frame of mind...I just truly appreciate the work you do.

  • Kapa P., Memphis, TN

    Glinda has helped me with obtaining clarity in moments of intense confusion in my life. One of the things I value most about her is her knowledge of plants and their healing power. Glinda has a skill that is becoming harder and harder to find; combining theoretical knowledge with practical experience. I'm also intrigued by her knowledge of the energies that affect our planet. People like Glinda are treasures that must be cherished and their knowledge used and perpetuated.

  • Georgia A., Washington, DC

    Glinda has helped me out in some of my toughest moments as a mom. Most recently she suggested a herb that quickly helped to clear up a persistent infection on my newborn's finger. She has also been so helpful in providing alternatives for anxiety. Her knowledge of herbal medicine in extensive and incredibly helpful.

  • Ashley K., Memphis, TN

    I was first introduced to SRT through a friend and Glinda was my first person that I worked with and remained with for many years. She has made such a huge impact on my life through her work with SRT. She taught me how to stand in my power, to trust SOURCE and to have fun with it all. She taught me how to believe in myself. There is my life before SRT and after and Glinda played such a huge role in the beginning stages of my life after SRT...I am overcome with gratitude and appreciation for her and for always answering the phone and for always confirming what I already knew and felt. She guided me to be my truest self, my self that is completely rooted in SOURCE. She gave me the tools to live my best and happiest life. When I met Glinda, my life changed. I am incredibly grateful for her being in my life.

Whatever challenge you are facing, just know that it is rooted in the very depth of your being~ your soul. The soul is the Life Force that activates the physical body and is the spark of Divine SOURCE. All healing, comes from Divine SOURCE. As quantum physics have shown us, we all are energy and our energetic fields can be disrupted or helped through energetic applications of love.
